One Solution - Biometric Security

• Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic
• Examples of biometrics using physical technology include:
  • Retinal / iris scans
  • Handwriting / voice
  • Fingerprint / hand geometry (most common)
• Biometric-based security provides unique, positive identification with an extremely high level of confidence
• Current applications include network security, secure electronic banking, government IDs and healthcare

Traditional Biometric Concerns

• Traditional biometric solutions are based on storing an image or exact replica of the physiological or behavioral characteristic
• Requires significant data capacity and security systems for biometric data storage
• Data security concerns limit ability to deploy biometric security solutions in more "public" environments in a cost effective manner
• Challenge - How to get benefits of biometric security without the high cost in infrastructure and the risk of data compromise?

5 Layers Deep

Unlike a traditional fingerprint image, where the external surface of the finger's ridges are captured in their entirety, the PASS sensor actually reads down five epidural layers, making the actual surface print incidental to the technology's accuracy, which currently runs at 99.92% accuracy. With PASS in place, it is not possible for identity thieves to create fake fingerprints or "steal" the finger and use it to gain access to a vehicle, office, building or credit card.
